One caution is do not to abuse the power of the Queen by moving it within the first 4-5 moves. The Queen's power is clearly realized in open positions, and because of its scope, it is always a threat to inflict serious damage on the opponent's position. In Diagram #2, you can see the power of a centralized Queen and it far-reaching abilities. When capturing an enemy piece, the Queen captures the piece by moving the piece and taking control of the square. In the open board the queen is powerful, but in crowded positions, she can be assaulted and even trapped by lesser pieces. While the Queen can bring destruction to an enemy position, she is also to be protected. Imagine a long-range weapon being able to fire accurately in all directions! The Queen can reach a maximum of 27 squares in all directions. She combines the power of both the Rook (straight lines) and the Bishop (diagonals) as illustrated in Diagram #1. The Queen is the most powerful piece in the chess army.

Queen-switching chess: If you make a move with a queen, then after it moves the queen that moved must switch places with opponent's queen.Deposable queen: If a promoted Queen crosses or lands on its side's second rank, it turns back into a pawn.If you get a number 1 to 8, count that many clockwise from forward direction and destroy whatever piece (of either color) in that direction adjacent to the queen that you moved. Queen-dice chess: Every time you move the queen, after it moves, if it isn't adjacent to a king of either color, then you have to roll d10 and if you get 9 or 10, nothing special happens.Queen-defending chess: The queen that you start with cannot be captured if it didn't move yet.Rifle-queen chess: The queen captures without moving.Castle makes queen chess: If you castle, the rook that you castled turns into a queen.Queen-line chess: No pieces can move into vacant squares that are threatened by queens of both colors.Revive-queen chess: Whenever you capture the opponent's queen, you must move that queen to any vacant space on the board (but it is still your opponent's queen).If this kind of move is possible, normal queen move isn't possible (but other moves that aren't with the queen are still possible). Pawn-making chess: If the queen is on the first rank and the space ahead of it is vacant, you can place a pawn of your color on that space (it gains initial double step), unless you are in check and it would not put you out of check.Amazon chess: The queen gains the added move of the knight.Nice-queen chess: The queen cannot give check (or capture the king).Queen-absorbant chess: When the queen captures another piece it changes into the kind of piece that it capture.Andernach-queen chess: When the queen captures, it changes color.No-again-queen chess: You cannot make a move with a queen if the opponent's last move was with a queen.Negative relay queen chess: The queen cannot capture, but any opponent's piece it sees (like as if it could capture it, it attacks it), gains the ability to make a capturing move as a normal chess queen does (this includes even the opponent's queen).Mamra-queen chess: The queen moves and capture only one space (like a king does), but it cannot be captured except by pawns and by promoted pawns.Max-distance-queen chess: Whenever the queen moves, it must move the maximum distance in whatever direction you choose to move.Edgehog chess: The queen must move to or from an edge.Virgin chess: The queen cannot capture anything (or deliver check or checkmate), but any piece adjacent to it (of any color) cannot make a capture either when starting from a square adjacent to the queen.Not all of them are ones I make up myself, but some of them are. When a pawn promotes to a queen, it promotes to a queen as it was in the starting of the game (as the variant). This page is written by the game's inventor, (zzo38) A.
